Did your blood get tested at 34 weeks?

Hey. My midwife didn't send me for blood tests when I was 34 weeks. Is this normal? Did you have blood tests at 34 weeks? I'm just slightly worried as I had low iron last time (not quite low enough for iron tablets) and I'm wondering whether I should start taking spatone just in case!

Yes. When I first booked into the midwife she gave me a list of all the appointments/scans and blood screening tests I would need up to 42 weeks. Just had a look at it and it says blood screening at 34 weeks. She didn't mention it at the appointment though. So I was just wondering if it was common practice.
